Answer:

When the United States entered World War I, the exhausted British and French forces wanted American troops in the trenches of the Western Front as soon as possible. By 1917, aerial warfare was also considered key to the success of the ground forces, and in May 1917, The French, in particular, asked the Americans to also bolster Allied air power. The French wanted the Americans to supply 5,000 pilots and planes, along with 50,000 mechanics to supplement the French and British air forces already in combat.

The training system of the Signal Corps at that time would simply not be capable of producing such numbers. It was decided to establish a system, similar to the British training program of a ground school, then a primary flight program, then a specialized program to train new pilots in the three basic areas that had been developed by the French and British air forces, pursuit, bombardment and observation.

In what ways was the mexican revolution similar to the american revolution

ki77a [65]

The similarities in the Mexican and American Revolutions can be seen in several things. One of the things was gaining an independence from the motherland that formed them, by over time grew to be more of a burden to their development. Another similarity is that the human rights and the slavery were part of the motives, as well as being able to create their own politics. Both revolutions were waged on their own territories, not on the territories of the motherlands, or on neutral ground. Both revolutions were eventually successful and Mexico and US gained independence from Spain and Britain.
